Oduduwa And Yoruba, Are They Two Different Ethnicity by frankdoz(op):
Some have argued voraciously that the people of southwestern Nigeria are mainly ethnic Oduduwa while their Yoruba counterpart can be found in other west African states like Benin, Togo and Ghana. The geographical area of Dahomey (Benin republic) is the original home of ethnic yorubas and consist of people with similar socio-cultural identity with Nigeria southwest oduduwa people. Activist, such as Femi fani kayode, have argued that Oduduwa is a quite distinct ethnicity from Yoruba, and for years have championed the campaign for the identification of the aboriginal Oduduwa people southwestern Nigeria. This is evident in one of his articles " We are Oduduwa " where he even detailed the Origin of the name " Yoruba, Yoruba or Yaribanza". One cannot conclude in facts, whether the two race of Oduduwa and Yoruba people, though sharing cultural similarities, can be categorized same or different ethnicity. However, in every uncertainty, event's can be either true or false. Which ever way, it's clear the identity of people of southwestern Nigeria is highly disputed, but while the people are more engross with 2023 presidency, the identity tussle between the people of Oduduwa and Yoruba are far from being settle.
